President John B. Mohler, who was
out of town.
The graduates of 11)32 sang the

. B. BECK'S ADDRESS
Clerk of Courts In Masterful Address
Advises Graduates To Take
the Right Road.
B. B. Beck, clerk of the courts of
Stark county, was introduced to the
audience by Superintendent of Schools
Thomas G. Denton.
Mr. Beck said he considered it "not
only a pleasure; but an honor to be
a humble participant in the commencement exercises of the class of
1!),'J2 of the North Canton high school
and 1 am sure that this will not
only be a garden spot in your memory but in my memory as well." He
praised the glee clubs and the musicians and the teachers for their devotion to their pupils. He cited a number of instances, Lincoln and Garfield,
especially, to siiow that many men
became great owing to their industry and their desire to reach the top.
He continued:
Like the Psalmist of old, you who
have been educated in this beautiful
and model town, can well say "Our!
lot has been east in pleasant places,"
as few communities this size have
such beautiful homes and such a fine
community spirit as has North Canton.
Praises Bess Hoover
Emerson says "Every great achievement is but the lengthening shadows
of a man," and the achievement of
North Canton and her model industry (The Hoover Electric Cleaner
Company) is largely the product of
the brain and industry of that great
man who recently passed away, affectionately known as Boss Hoover. Mr.
Hoover was not only a civic leader
and a captain of industry, hut he had
time to use his marvelous energy and i
great ability in the Kingdom of the
Master of Men. He was one of God's
will always live. We can well say
with poet Campbell .
"To live in hearts, we leave behind
Is not to die."
This is a great day not only for you
who have achieved the highest honor
'in the gift of your school, but a groat
day for tbe whole community. As
you bid goodbye to your school, we
bid God-speed in your great commencement in life's great activities.
Quotes Van Dyke's Poem
The longer your speaker lives,'the
more he is convinced of the fact that
life's greatest gifts are bestowed on
those who do common things uncommonly well, and whatever you aspire
to do in life, may you say with Dr.
Henry VanDyke of Princeton
"Let me but do my work frpm day to
day,
In field or forest, at the desk >nr
loom,
In roaring market place or tranquil
room;
Where vagrant wishes beckon me
astray,
This is my work; my blessing, nol
my doom,
Of all who live, I am the one by
whom,
This work can best be done in the
right way. ;
"Then shall I see it not too great nor
small ' !
To suit my spirit and to prove my
powers; ,
Then shall I cheerful greet the labor-.
ing hours, j
And cheerful turn, when the longj
shadows fall
At eventide, to play and love and rest,!
Because I know for me my work I
is best,"
Praises Orations
He referred several times to the
orations on "Faith" by Paul Mortimer and "Is Poverty a Curse?" by
Alma Stickle, two of the graduates
this year, and reminded the girl graduates that while they arc not in
"Who's Who" today they will be in
the future if they "get a fellow with
the stulf in him to reach the top."
Life's true heroes and heroines are
not alone found on the battlefield,
but in the everyday walk and duties
of life one best serves his Master, and
one best does his work, and when he
does it lightly, may lie a hero or
heroine, as truly as one who faces a
cannon's mouth.

Brown's Neighbor Goodyear
PAUL K. GOODYEAR, editor of the
Reporter, New Vienna, Clinton
county, Ohio, conducts a sprightly column called "Just Among Ourselves." As a neighbor of Clarence J.
Brown^ (Brown resides 12 miles away

words: "A man as popular and as
successful and as well-fitted for a
high public position as Brown MUST
not be discarded . . . and he will not

HE Hon. James T. Begg was in

and he made a speech before the

sleeve to cause him to journey to

that he, (Jim) wants an early start
for the Governorship two years hence.

This writer agrees with Editor
Goodyear that Claience J. Brown
must not be permitted to remain in
private life. Men of the high qualifi-.
cations of Brown are needed in pub-| relix Durand
lie life, be they Republicans or Demo-, Unc' Bos
crats. The followers of Clarence J.
Brown want more humanity in government, more attention to human
rights and less lo material. They do
not believe in legislation enforced by
the use of the sandbag, so they will
turn to Brown, not Begg,,in UVAA.

JOSEPH M. MARKLEY
Canton man will deliver the class
address to the eighth grade graduates
in Jackson township high school auditorium this Wednesday evening. Mr.
' Markley has a message all can un-
I derstand and appreciate. As a pub-
J lie speaker he is in great demand.
' JACKSON TIP. HIGH
HEN Lester S. Lash was running j
for auditor of Stark county The
Sun supported him solely on the j
record he bad made in the city of j
Massillon and what this newspaper!
learned about him from conservative
business men, farmers, mechanic:; and
professional men. i
The editors of The Sun did not
know Mr. Lash' personally; as a matter of fact they had never seen him,
but they decided he was the man for
the place if it was to be taken out
of the dump of cheap politics and
bickerings of a silly nature and placed upon a firm foundation. At the
general election Mr. Lash won by a
small margin.
t t •-!• ',
TU-IE SUN has never hail occasion
1 to regret the suppoit it gave Lester S. Lash. He has measured up
in every particular. Hi

honesty.
When he discovered that Ralph E.
Tanner, a deputy county auditor, had
been taking money from the cash
draw and using it for his personal use,
Auditor Lash caused the arrest of
Tanner. He was convicted and on
Monday or Tuesday a Judge will tell
him where he is going to reside for
the next few years.
•t t t
The Sun calls "serv-
ng the public and to hell with
politics." Lash is a Democrat and
honest man. Tanner is a Demo
crat, and according to the findings of
the jury, a dishonest man.
Many men in Auditor Lash's position would have "hushed it up," given
the culprit opportunity to resign, and
then passed the hat among the oll'ice
force and outside Democrats "for the
good of the party's name."
Not so Lash. He isn't of that brand
of kidney. Honest as daylight himself, he tolerates no underhand methods. "Come clean and slay clean or
get out" is his motto, and the thinking, law-abiding people of Stark cniin-
stand he took
ly honor him for
against Tanner.

When the people of Stark county
become intelligent they will forget

will be no scandals. But while they

Clerk of Courts In Masterful Address
Advises Graduates To Take
the Right Road.
B. B. Beck, clerk of the courts of
Stark county, was introduced to the
audience by Superintendent of Schools
Thomas G. Denton.
Mr. Beck said he considered it "not
only a pleasure; but an honor to be
a humble participant in the commencement exercises of the class of
1!),'J2 of the North Canton high school
and 1 am sure that this will not
only be a garden spot in your memory but in my memory as well." He
praised the glee clubs and the musicians and the teachers for their devotion to their pupils. He cited a number of instances, Lincoln and Garfield,
especially, to siiow that many men
became great owing to their industry and their desire to reach the top.
He continued:
Like the Psalmist of old, you who
have been educated in this beautiful
and model town, can well say "Our!
lot has been east in pleasant places,"
as few communities this size have
such beautiful homes and such a fine
community spirit as has North Canton.
Praises Bess Hoover
Emerson says "Every great achievement is but the lengthening shadows
of a man," and the achievement of
North Canton and her model industry (The Hoover Electric Cleaner
Company) is largely the product of
the brain and industry of that great
man who recently passed away, affectionately known as Boss Hoover. Mr.
Hoover was not only a civic leader
and a captain of industry, hut he had
time to use his marvelous energy and i
great ability in the Kingdom of the
Master of Men. He was one of God's
will always live. We can well say
with poet Campbell .
"To live in hearts, we leave behind
Is not to die."
This is a great day not only for you
who have achieved the highest honor
'in the gift of your school, but a groat
day for tbe whole community. As
you bid goodbye to your school, we
bid God-speed in your great commencement in life's great activities.
Quotes Van Dyke's Poem
The longer your speaker lives,'the
more he is convinced of the fact that
life's greatest gifts are bestowed on
those who do common things uncommonly well, and whatever you aspire
to do in life, may you say with Dr.
Henry VanDyke of Princeton
"Let me but do my work frpm day to
day,
In field or forest, at the desk >nr
loom,
In roaring market place or tranquil
room;
Where vagrant wishes beckon me
astray,
This is my work; my blessing, nol
my doom,
Of all who live, I am the one by
whom,
This work can best be done in the
right way. ;
"Then shall I see it not too great nor
small ' !
To suit my spirit and to prove my
powers; ,
Then shall I cheerful greet the labor-.
ing hours, j
And cheerful turn, when the longj
shadows fall
At eventide, to play and love and rest,!
Because I know for me my work I
is best,"
Praises Orations
He referred several times to the
orations on "Faith" by Paul Mortimer and "Is Poverty a Curse?" by
Alma Stickle, two of the graduates
this year, and reminded the girl graduates that while they arc not in
"Who's Who" today they will be in
the future if they "get a fellow with
the stulf in him to reach the top."
Life's true heroes and heroines are
not alone found on the battlefield,
but in the everyday walk and duties
of life one best serves his Master, and
one best does his work, and when he
does it lightly, may lie a hero or
heroine, as truly as one who faces a
cannon's mouth.

Brown's Neighbor Goodyear
PAUL K. GOODYEAR, editor of the
Reporter, New Vienna, Clinton
county, Ohio, conducts a sprightly column called "Just Among Ourselves." As a neighbor of Clarence J.
Brown^ (Brown resides 12 miles away
in Blanchester) Mr. Goodyear concludes his article with the following
words: "A man as popular and as
successful and as well-fitted for a
high public position as Brown MUST
not be discarded . . . and he will not
be."

What Does Begg Want

HE Hon. James T. Begg was in
Canton on Saturday afternoon
and he made a speech before the
central committee of Stark county
Republicans. What has Jim up his
sleeve to cause him to journey to
Canton ? Does he see it written in
large letter on the wall that Dave
is going to defeat in November and
that he, (Jim) wants an early start
for the Governorship two years hence.
Cooper defeated Begg for the nomination four years ago. and those in ui ^

This writer agrees with Editor
Goodyear that Claience J. Brown
must not be permitted to remain in
private life. Men of the high qualifi-.
cations of Brown are needed in pub-| relix Durand
lie life, be they Republicans or Demo-, Unc' Bos
crats. The followers of Clarence J.
Brown want more humanity in government, more attention to human
rights and less lo material. They do
not believe in legislation enforced by
the use of the sandbag, so they will
turn to Brown, not Begg,,in UVAA.

JOSEPH M. MARKLEY
Canton man will deliver the class
address to the eighth grade graduates
in Jackson township high school auditorium this Wednesday evening. Mr.
' Markley has a message all can un-
I derstand and appreciate. As a pub-
J lie speaker he is in great demand.
' JACKSON TIP. HIGH
HEN Lester S. Lash was running j
for auditor of Stark county The
Sun supported him solely on the j
record he bad made in the city of j
Massillon and what this newspaper!
learned about him from conservative
business men, farmers, mechanic:; and
professional men. i
The editors of The Sun did not
know Mr. Lash' personally; as a matter of fact they had never seen him,
but they decided he was the man for
the place if it was to be taken out
of the dump of cheap politics and
bickerings of a silly nature and placed upon a firm foundation. At the
general election Mr. Lash won by a
small margin.
t t •-!• ',

honesty.
When he discovered that Ralph E.
Tanner, a deputy county auditor, had
been taking money from the cash
draw and using it for his personal use,
Auditor Lash caused the arrest of
Tanner. He was convicted and on
Monday or Tuesday a Judge will tell
him where he is going to reside for
the next few years.
•t t t
The Sun calls "serv-
ng the public and to hell with
politics." Lash is a Democrat and
honest man. Tanner is a Demo
crat, and according to the findings of
the jury, a dishonest man.
Many men in Auditor Lash's position would have "hushed it up," given
the culprit opportunity to resign, and
then passed the hat among the oll'ice
force and outside Democrats "for the
good of the party's name."
Not so Lash. He isn't of that brand
of kidney. Honest as daylight himself, he tolerates no underhand methods. "Come clean and slay clean or
get out" is his motto, and the thinking, law-abiding people of Stark cniin-
stand he took
ly honor him for
against Tanner.

When the people of Stark county
become intelligent they will forget

will be no scandals. But while they
